Mother’s day, yuck

Please do not send me one more pitch about things to do for Mother’s day. I never, ever liked it. Well, not true I did enjoy the breakfast in bed last year and watching my political show in peace, but really, they could do that for me another time.

Look around. Is there someone near you who doesn’t have a mom? Maybe a kid in your own kids school, or an organization that supports kids in foster care. The other week I sat next to a lovely lady at a charity lunch that my mother had helped with. She works for an organization that brings kids to their moms in prison on Mother’s Day. It’s called Get on the bus. I’d rather spread the love around on Mother’s day and think of the people who feel like crap on it. Where is Orphan Day? Or,mommy dearest day? Ha, what about that?
